The Secret is (Tr)OUT!

We are so excited to be adding a new book to our collection. The story has been written and illustration is underway. This time we will be working in collaboration with @wildtrouttrust and we hope to launch the book this summer.

Claire Gordon Reads

It’s so lovely to receive feedback from our audience and requests from far and wide. At the moment we are only shipping to the UK, mainly due to associated distribution cost. We are, however, exploring further print on demand and distribution solutions (inc. Amazon) that may allow us to ship farther afield.

Children in Read

Children in Read is a charity book auction which raises funds for the long-established British charity, Children in Need. It was founded by Paddy Heron, who continues to organise and drive the event forward from year to year. This year we were happy to support the cause by donating a signed book to be auctioned.

Readers and deer in Norway

We love receiving emails like this! Today we had an email from Marisa Molin to say her book had arrived, reaching the shores of Norway, and as she opened the parcel, she looked out the window, only to see a lovely deer nibbling her tree! There really are deer around here!
